Pros

Above average acceptance of remote workers and flexible hours. Doesn't usually take itself too seriously compared to many companies. I've seen people make career moves into different departments that have turned out well for them.

Cons

There's a real lack of camaraderie and culture. There doesn't seem to be a longterm vision, and there's not a focus on quality, which can be demoralizing. Many teams including Product come as an afterthought. You will feel like your time is not respected. While there are obviously critical points when a team has to come together, too often it feels like you're working into your weekend or vacation for something that easily could have been scheduled at a better time. While there are some people eager to grow the company and come in with a smile, sadly many more aren't excited to start the day and are eager to leave. It's viewed as just a job to pay the bills. Much of the technology used is ancient, from conferencing that rarely works to IT 'solutions' that are inadequate. People between departments do not mingle, and are sometimes treated with hostility. You'll hear people openly say "let their department deal with it", when talking about how to approach a problem wether it be in Support, Development, or Sales. 'Why spend our time on it when someone else can deal with it?' seems to be the attitude. There's not much of a feeling that we're in it together.

Pros

I was quite surprised to see such a negative review of such a great place to work! itnis refreshing to work at a place where candor is appreciated, people wake up wanting to do a good job, we learn from our mistakes, and we support each other- All because we want to make a difference for our clients. We work hard and play hard. This is truly a special place to work. As someone who watched TargetX grow over the last 15 years and knew I wanted to be a part of the "something special"... I'm so glad I took a leap from a comfortable job to one that offers new and exciting challenges each day.

Cons

they take cultural fit very seriously which makes sense for people who used to be in admissions. You must be passionate about your work and want to excel or it's not the place for you.
